If anyone remembers, I just wanted to compare when everyone started feeling the baby move. If you have more than one child I'd like to know when you felt it in the first and second pregnancy. Was it sooner?

i felt all my children move earlier then most women do... the skinnier you are the easier it is to feel them move... my first and second were between 10 and 12 weeks and the third and fourth were around 16... everyone is different but if you are patient and try to feel the baby move you can feel it very early.

I experienced it at around 3 mths. I thought it was gass, but it so happened that i did an ultrasound at the same time i was getting that little fluttering feeling. That's where I observed that my baby was actually jumping all around in there. It was so funny to look at, a memory i can never forget

with my first it wasnt until about 20 weeks. but after that it was sooner. with my fourth i felt her at about 15 weeks every now and then (maybe 4-5 times a day) but i think it's easier the more you have because you know what it feels like and because your uterus is thinner so it's easier to feel. with the last one i also could feel her from the outside at about 16 weeks and by 18 weeks you could feel it really good.

i felt my first child move at around 18 weeks, my second around 14 weeks, third 12 weeks and my last 10 weeks. although it felt on my subsequent pregnancies like a bubble that bursted against my abdomen, and my first it felt like 'twinges'. don't worry, some women think that the baby move in the begin is like wind!

I'm expecting my first but felt her for sure around 12-14wks. Everyone thought I was crazy but the doppler and u/s proved me right. She got stronger around 18wks when I could feel her from the outside even though that's the first time I tried. If it matters, Zoe is "breech" per the doc with anterior placenta. She's been hiding up as far as she can the entire time and her elbows are hitting to the left of my belly button.

I have two kids and with my first I felt her moving around 12-14 weeks. People didn't believe me. Then with my son I felt him moving around 9-10 weeks. He was way more active than my daughter. People didn't believe me on that one either until he kick the monitor off at 10 weeks.

Felt my first and only at 10 wks. She was always a very very active baby, it felt like little gurgles on my right side, which is where she stayed the whole pregnancy.

As I remembered, I felt my second child fetal movement sooner, at 16 weeks and for my first at about 18 wks. I guess the second time around, you know what to expect since your more experienced. =)

Yeah I have all girls and I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks this time and she was moving all over the place right where I said I could feel it! With my second the Dr was having trouble finding the heartbeat at 11 weeks and I told her exactly where I was feeling movement and she found it! She said some people are just more sensitive to their bodies than others so they will feel movement earlier.

With my first child I remember feeling something weird in my area below my belly button at around 7 weeks. My 2nd child I felt movement at 4months or so and my 3rd child I can assure you I felt movement at around 7 weeks as well. They are all boys and it is said that boys start moving at 40 days. That "is true" because my I had multiple ultrasounds w/the 3rd baby and at 9 weeks he was moving like crazy. At 16 weeks or so the movement was stronger. If there's a next time I know for sure what I am feeling! :o)

I am pregnant with my third and I felt all of mine earlier than most. It was a bit earlier with each pregnancy. First was about 12 weeks, second was 10 1/2 and third was 8. I'm not saying I felt kicks, but just little flutters that feel like gas, but are consistently in the same spot and often.

My first baby i felt at around 17 - 18 weeks. I remember freaking out because all the books said at 17 weeks you should feel the baby and my doctor was asking me did you feel the baby. But finally she decided to kick. With my second it was around the same time maybe a week earlier but not much of a difference.

I have five children and the earliest I felt movement was like 16 weeks. It felt like a teeny tiny tap or bubble popping.

with my second baby i felt her move between 14 and 16 weeks (getting more noticeable towards the 16 weeks) with my first I honestly can't remember but I'm sure it was 20 weeks+ that I really felt them (or possibly knew what they were properly) xx

with my first I never really felt him doing a lot - he was content to sit nestled in my pelvic bone area and not move around a lot but this time around it was about 14 weeks I started to feel movement - and it hasn't stopped it just hammers the heck outta me :)

the first intial movement was around probably, oh.....12 weeks, you know, when you feel the butterflies in your stomach or the "gas bubble" lol, but the first kick from my oldest I felt when I was about 20 weeks...from my youngest, the first kick was around 15-16 weeks.

I only have one baby but..
I first felt the little bubbles at about 12 weeks and the harder movements at around 16/ 17 weeks.
The MW said it was impossible, but I knew what it was and they gradually got stronger as he grew so I know it was him and not just "gas" like she said.
Im quite a small skinny person too, I think that makes a difference.

I first saw my baby move at 12 weeks!! I know that is early, but I was laying on the couch on my back and I felt my tummy bubble.. I lifted my shirt some and just laid very still, then sure enough my skin jumped up like a little bump.. It was neat, but it never happened again.. I actually started to feel consistent movement around 18 weeks.

I'm only pregnant with my first but I felt very small movements around 16 weeks. He felt like tiny bubbles in my belly! Everyone, other than my doctor, told me it was gas. But my doc confirmed that you can feel an active baby very early into the pregnancy. And boy is he active! I'm at 36 weeks now and my belly morphes continuously! I'm really going to miss feeling him after he gets here.
